What is up with Boswell? Why would he write this if it did not take place? Can anyone answer?

As I stated when the thread about the laughing in the room started...

Personally, I don't have much faith in the validity of the local press.

I don't know why Boswell would write it, I do know after making my own observations when I was at camp... and then listening to their's... I decided that you just couldn't believe 2/3 of what you read/hear.

So I take everything with a grain of salt now instead of reading it as gospel.
